Yesterday I had thought that I had removed all of smitfraud-c but I must not have removed everything. I am including the log and would appreciate any help you can give me. I cannot open paypal or ebay but most everything else is working for me. Thanks alot!

I was able to fix my problem. I went to the C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts opened it with notepad and found lots of websites that were set to go to a 127.0..... address and after first making the file not a read only file, I could delete the websites and they now load without being redirected to the unknown address. I made sure to make it a read only file after saving it. Things are working again and the spyware search and destroy has not found the smitfraud-c and hopefully will not!!
